Hello,, Brand new here so forgive me if this has already been asked,, I tried to search but came up empty.

Here is my question, I just bought a 82 GL1100 Aspencade, For the most part it is in great shape. Been doing a little repair here and there but have come to a bump in the road, the display that has a clock, and then also shows you what radio station your on is not working for me. I have looked for a wiring diagram with no luck, plus I found today that under the left turn light is a large bundle of wires with a lot of fuse's, but none of them are labeled. Is there any advice one can give to trouble shoot this problem so I can hopefully just fix the fuse, or rewire it..... or .... is there a way to test the display to see if it is just shot? any help would be nice,, much thanks

The radio works (but could use a better antenna lol ) and I was told the cb works too but without the headset I can not test that. There is no display directly on the radio but rather on the dash, after looking at the OP Man. I learned that when the radio is off then a clock should be displayed.. also the cig lighter does not work so not sure if these two are on the same circuit. Hope this helps.

You might want to check the connection then between the tuner and the display. The tuner module is located below the right fairing pocket, and has a cable that ends in a DIN connector that plugs into a DIN connector that shows the station tuned to. If that connection comes apart, you will have no display.

Outstanding,,, Thanks Wingman,, I will check that out. I was re-wiring this past weekend (adding some drive lights) and saw that box but did not know what it was, had an idea that it had something to do with the radio or CB. getting to it is no easy task, that is with my hands trying to fit down inside where the pocket box comes out. thanks again. will let ya know what I find.

ok, dumb question,, where is the Manuals section??? lol I found the how to section.

Well I have tried the connections, nothing is working, I have tried to find one online since my local dealership is a complete waste of time (they could not even help me with a spare key, and had no idea what I was talking about when I said radio indicator, digital display) and have have come up blank, anyone know how to find one and about what the cost will be?

Keep a watch on eBay, also check out the Vendors database here, look for used parts vendors.

In all those wires you will find glass fuses, I would suggest going ahead and replacing them (since they may be original equipment). If that does not work look in that wire bundle and you may find some fuseable links that need to be repaired.
As you can tell I dont know everything about these radios, but it should be in the wires unless the LED display is completly burned out.

I had one of the glass fuses in my main fuse block fail. When I took it out, the metal end fell off, and the hardened "glue" that was holding it in place just crumbled and fell out. I pulled out all of my fuses, and most were in the same condition. A good hard jolt, and they would have failed. At that point I decided to replace every fuse in my bike.

wow seems like the same problem I have except previos owner disconnected the speaker wires and installed somekind of radio that doesn't pick up very well. Guess I'll connect speakers and see if there is any noise. Would be nice if the schmatics would at least give you power points to test.
